Earlier this year both the epic-scale Ultimate Apocalypse mod and the Witch Hunters mod for the original Dawn Of War were completed, so I'm planning to go back in and check them out. I've heard of other mods, but what do people recommend? And are there any worthwhile ones for Dawn Of War II? It...

(If this is the wrong forum, can an admin please move it to the correct spot?)
So the Heir Apparent (10 yrs old) bought himself a computer for his Christmas money, a shiny Lenovo thing running Win8.
He is currently playing Minecraft (ver. 1.8.8) and has found out about mods. We have downloaded...

So I just got back into Minecraft yesterday.
Now that I'm back in the groove, I wanted to start up a thread dedicated to mods and seeds.
I never really looked into mods when playing Minecraft. I've tried out seeds, but haven't found out too many particularly interesting ones yet.
I'll start...

Wherein I pose questions about mods I've heard of but haven't used, and ask about suggestions for others.
It's been a while since I've played KSP, but I've been shotgunning Scott Manley's Interstellar Quest series lately and it's making me want to get back into it (especially since career...

So I have, of late, been struck by the urge to play Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 3 again. I just got done modding New Vegas and it was an . . . experience . . . to say the least (mod conflicts! Mod conflict everywhere) and now would like to do the same to three. That in mind, I decided to ask...

While Skyrim has lots of fans, and for very good reasons, it is not without it flaws. Some can be fixed by the very active modding community, while some can't... or simply haven't, yet. So air your dissatisfaction with specific aspects of the game - and if someone else has a mod suggestion for...

Last week I finished and had a lot of fun running my Shaman PC through Dead Man's Switch.
Unfortunately, it will be another two weeks before the official expansion is out, probably longer before it's on GoG.
Fortunately, there seems to be a fair number of custom campaigns and missions.
For...

So, I decided to give the Mass Effect series another shot. (I played the first one halfway through once but then lost interest.)
Anyway, I have a question about modding ME. Is there a central place where the mods are? I didn't find one immediately, so I was wondering where I can get the good...

So, a couple days ago, I noticed the Project Balance sticky on the Paradox forums, saw that it connected to a couple other mods like VIET (Varied...something something Events something Traits? I don't remember the exact acronym), and installed them all and gave it a try. I do like a lot of the...

I want to crack Minecraft open again. I love the early game the most - the exploration, the scramble for resources, seeing weird things. Building is fun, but after a point I get bored with it. When I built with Logos, I built toys to play with, not static models to display or show off. I...

Oh, there once was a 'hero' named Bassus the Blind,
Who came riding through Skyrim to see Draugrkind,
And the blackguard did pray to gods fell and perverse,
And he vowed to leave Skyrim just a little bit worse,
But the north is no place for a man with dead eyes,
And bandits did plot to prepare...

Preamble:
I've been messing around with overhaul mods lately, and I've found a great mix and a fun playstyle to take advantage of it. I've been thinking of doing a WIP so that we can discover some of the changes together. This isn't entirely blind--I have been playing around with Redone and...

For one I'm making one of these threads instead of posting in them.
So, I wasn't going to bother modding the hell out of Minecraft, as is my typical custom with any moddable game, until 1.4 and the modding API, but my discovery of MagicLauncher and it's lack of necessity to edit the java...

I have been playing Rome:Total War for years. Once I exhausted the vanilla game I began using mods (Rome: Total Realism, Roma Surrectum, Roma Surrectum II).
I would love play as the Eastern Roman Empire but I don't know if I can go back to vanilla R:TW - Barbarian Invasion after playing the...

Has anyone seen a mod that will increase all damage in Skyrim? I feel like I've got god mode on, here. If I stand naked and let a skeleton have at me, it takes >10 hits and maybe a minute for it to finish me off. Likewise, getting shot by a bandit or attacked by a wolf does so little damage...

Man, now I remember why I deleted WoW the first time; to get shit done. However, getting shit done is overrated :)
I'd like to start messing around with the UI myself; I'm using SpartanUI right now and though I like how everything is along the bottom, I'm not a fan of the artwork or all the...

Over a year ago brought Fallout 3 the Collector's Edition. A year ago I brough Fallout 3 GoTY Eition since I figure it would cheaper then buying all of the DLC on it own.
And the after I installed it I couldn't get the damn thing work. I managed to actually lunch it once (after jumping through a...

There's some really amazing Civ 4 mods out there (as well as some that aren't so great).
I'm sure that some of you have your favorites and such, and I'd be glad to hear about which ones they are and why.
But, I'm also interested in 'crossover Mods.' That is to say, Mods that take a particular...

So I never beat Oblivion or The Shivering Isles. I did play it some... enough to get through Knights of the Nine and most all the side quests in the game (Daedric shrines, all the various guilds, etc.).
So my question is what fan-made mods are must-haves and why? I'll tell you some of my...

I was hitting Fileplanet recently for some old game patches, and on the front page I saw a link to this: an article highlighting some mods for Torchlight. I didn't even know the game was moddable.
Has anyone tried these, or other, mods? Are they any good? What do they change? Would you...
